Choosing and moving on screen
Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
Work through an example
With APPLE as the answer and ALLEE as the guess, the first A and final E are in the right places. The extra L and E are not both counted as present. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.
Keep this in mind
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
